I am a licensed psychologist and received my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from DU. My philosophy on therapy is as follows:

Everyone deserves to live a life filled with happiness, health, and love. Challenges may arise that are difficult to overcome. I see therapy as a way to develop better ways to cope with life in the present, heal wounds from the past, and let go of worries of the future. Therapy can help individuals overcome barriers that stand in the way of having true happiness. I help clients gain insight by providing a supportive and caring environment, while also challenging my clients when they are ready.

My private practice specializes in: - grief/bereavement/loss - growth from trauma - positive psychology - wellness/mindfulness - life transitions - relationships - training/supervision

Counseling services for individuals, couples, and families. I offer couples counseling and talk therapy for anxiety, depression, or trauma to regain your emotional balance. My specialties include working with the highly sensitive person as well as those experiencing grief and loss. For couples, I use PAIRS counseling techniques to help build a stronger relationship between partners. If you or a loved one are experiencing a chronic illness, counseling can help. Contact me for a free phone consultation. Low-cost counseling is also available through the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective. Training: Denver Family Institute, American Academy of bereavement, CMI, and the Shambhala Center Boulder on subjects including grief counseling, crisis, and trauma, grieving children and teens, and relationships after a loss. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the state of Colorado and a PAIRS Level 1 Certified Trainer for couples. Board member/Treasurer: Colorado Association of Psychotherapists. Past member: Jeffco Family Support Network; Colorado Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health; and Jefferson County, Mental Health Court, Advisory Board. Worked with the ALS Association, Judi's House (family support for grief and loss), and the Brain Injury Association of Colorado.

I graduated from the Contemplative Psychotherapy department at Naropa University after an undergraduate education at the University of Washington. I have five-years experience in the mental health field.

I specialize in life transitions and loss/grief. Related fields in which I also have experience are trauma recovery, sexual abuse/trauma, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

My use of mindfulness and acceptance-based techniques encourages a compassionate exploration of your experience, and a collaborative relationship towards balance and well-being. Additionally, my training in neuropsychology will inform our work towards integrating the many levels of mind, body and spirit.
